Given information
There is a point along the line joining two equal positive charges.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The electric field is zero at the midpoint of the line segment joining the two equal positive charges.
The electric field due to each charge is of the same magnitude at that location, because the location is equidistant from both charges, but the two fields are in the opposite direction. Thus the net electric field is zero there.
